If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these five steps:
t Before calling for assistance...
Petiormance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If your refrlgerafor will not operate:
.
IS
the electric cord plugged into a live Circuit with
proper voltage? (See page 4.)
. Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit
breaker box?
. Is the Temperature Control turned ON?
It there Is a rattllng or jlngllng nolse or unfamlllar
sounds:
l
Is something on top or behind the refrigerator making
noise when the refrlgerator is running?
. New features on your new refrigerator make new
sounds. You may be hearing air flowing from the fans,
timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, or defrost water
drainlng in the defrost pan.
If your Ice maker will not operate:
l
Has the freezer had enough time to get cold? With a
new refrigerator, this might take overnight.
l
Is the signal arm ON...in the down position?
l
Is the water valve turned on? Is water getting to the ice
ma ket?
If there Is water In the defrost pan:
l
This is normal in hot, muggy weather. The pan can
even be half full. Make sure the refrigerator is level so
the pan does not overflow.
If the light does not work:
l
Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit
breaker box?
l
Is the power supply cord plugged into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See page 4.)
If a bulb Is burned out:
l
See instructions for changing light bulbs on page 7.
Use appliance bulbs only.
If the motor seems to run too much:
l
Is the condenser free of dust and lint?
l
On hot days, or if the room is warm, the motor naturally
runs longer.
l
If the door has been opened a lot, or if a large amount
of food has been put in, the motor will run longer to
cool down the interior.
Remember: Motor running time depends on different
things; number of door openings, amount of food
stored; temperature of the room, setting of the controls,
YOU new refrigerator may be larger than your old
one so it has more space to be cooled. It also has a
regular freezer instead of a frozen food compartment.
All this means better refrlgeration and may require
more running time than your old one.
